Massimiliano Monetario

Massimiliano Monetario (1460-1495) was the Margrave of Montferrat during the late 15th century. Monetario sided with the Pope and Naples during the Italian War of 1494-98, leading to France declaring war on Montferrat. In 1495, a French army besieged the Montferratese capital of Casale Monferrato, and Monetario was slain during the valiant defense of the city.
